Bob you bastard taking my character gong icon_mad.gif

Really shouldn't have voted for mcCardle icon_frown.gificon_wink.gif

Ironically the internet which has plagued me for the past week at home seems to have fixed itself so i didnt need the internet cafe at all apparently icon_frown.gif Still I did need that stirfry so possibly worth it in the end -

cheers for the award guys, one day I might even complete one of those stories! icon_biggrin.gif

COngrats to all winners of the other awards all well deserved I reckon icon14.gif

and a big hand for the organisers of the event, who will be pleased to know that Russia is my intended next starting point, should I get round to writing one on it later on! I'll be buggered if I'm going commie though icon_razz.gif

A quick word of explanation first- with a wife and five kids- and being on American time- makes it nigh impossible to attend personally- though the drinking sounds wonderful icon_smile.gif

For the other award winners- you were all very worthy of them (and I voted for many of you- traded votes with you BobBev icon_smile.gif ). Beyond the normal congratulations, I want to thank everyone nominated for contributing to FMS- the core writers here are simply amazing and it is also excellent to see the new influx of writers.

I am humbled to receive writer of the year, it is truly an honor to be nominated for that one, and to be selected is...inspiring.

Coming from LLM to FMS- and continually starting at the lower levels- means perseverance is part of my normal nature, so thanks for the recognition on that.

Delusions of Grandeur was different- the most unsuccessful managing venture for me in CM or FM- but I have to give credit to all the kind comments I received in playing through it, those were really what kept the story going as long as it did.

Thanks again to Raptor and Terk- most of you see the contributions to the forum, but they offer more here than meets the eye (from someone who has seen that too). Thanks again guys.

Forget not being able to attend, when the hell do you get time to play and write icon_eek.gif

Sorry Bri - I was very surprised to see Stefan even make the shortlist to be honest.

By the closest of margins, the award for Best Short Story 2005 goes to glamdring, for Euro 2020 - a nation expects... (A short[ish!] story) </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thanks for the award - I certainly wasn't expecting to win one so thanks very much to those who voted and for the congratulations earlier in the thread.

Sorry I wasn't present, but I couldn't get any flight tickets to Moscow icon_frown.gif (or I don't have internet access at home - take your pick icon_wink.gif )

oh well down to the Scotsman, so tight he can't even afford to give up his time to come down here icon_mad.gif

Guess I'll have to drink his vodka for him then!

Glam isn't Scottish - he just likes writing about Scottish football. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

*hadn't spotted that one when I replied!

Yep, it's true, I'm English, just obsessed with Scotland and Scottish football. If I could claim Scottish nationality I would icon_cool.gif

Apologies for the very late entry, but as of yet, I have no internet in my new home (hopefully later today), hence my absence from Moscow icon_frown.gif

Congratulations to all the winners, even the two who beat me.

And thanks to the organisers for an excellently put-together show. icon14.gif
